LEONARD HEUSER, OF NE YORK, NY,

RAZQR.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented.- Nov. 12, 1907.

Application filed March 6. 1907. Serial No. 360,822,

To all tllh0m ii may concern:

Be it known that I, LEONARD HEUSER, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city'of New York, borough of Manhattan, in the county and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Razor, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact dcscription. i

This invention has for its object to provide a razor with a blade adapted to'be detachably secured to a shank, and constructed of thin, fiat metal adapted to be readily ground at its edge thereby avoidingthe expensive operation of hollowiiig out the sidesof the razor blade by the grinding process, which frequently results in'drawing-the temper from the-blade to a greater or 'less extent, and preventing razor blades from being tempered in accordance with a-uniiorm standard.

Such objects I accomplish by the means illustrated. in" ,the accompanying drawingswhich embody my invention inits preferred form. and in which Figure 1 is a side elevation of a device embodying myinvention; Fig. 2 is a vertical transverse section taken on. the line 2-2 of Fig. 1; and Fig. dis a vertical section taken on'the line 3-3 oi Fig. 1.

Asillustrated in the drawings, a shank 1 is applied to a handle 2'by means ofa pivot 3, which par B may he shank is -provided with a heel 4 havinga slotted recess, indicated by dotted lines in Fig. 1, adapted to receive 'a heel-.5 of a blade 6. The back of saidblade is fixedly attached to a sleeve 7, preferably angular in cross section, as shown' in 3, and adapted to receive a correspondingly angular-stub stem 8 formed in the shank of the razor,so as to prevent torsional movement of the v sleeve on the stem thereby preventing any movementof the blade relatively to the shank oi the razor. The engagement of the heel 5 of the blade in the slotted recess formed in the heel 4 of the shank is also designed to aid in holding the blade and sleeve firmly together. A stem section 9,- indicated by dotted lines in Fig; l, is detachably secured to the stem 8 by means of a threaded engagement, comprising preferably,

I areduced endlO engaging a threaded socket formed in the adjacent end of the stem 8. The detachable stem whereby said section is readily mariipulatedt'o engage the stern 8, or be removed therefrom. By means oi such construction, the blade 6 may-be snadeof fiat metal drawn to: an edge and temperedwto-the' desired section is provided on its outer end. with a head '11 extent. The blade is not 1 quired to be ground or hollowedout, as is necessarywith razor bladesof ordinary construction, and thereis, therefore; no liability or tendency of the temperiof the blade being withdrawn or impaired b'y'such' grinding process; The expense necessarily incurred in grinding the razor; blade. is, moreover, therebyavoided and conlseqilently therazor itself is made cheaper than' razors'oi ordinary mnstruction'. By means of the construction herein shown and described, moreover, a blade if woi'n out orbroken may be readily detached from the shank of the razor,

and a new blade inserted in its stead without the expense necessarilyincurred in f providing. anentirely- I Having thus described my invention, what I claimas new and desire to secure by.Letters Patent.is:

.1. Armor comprising a shnnkprovided with a recessed heel, a sectlonal stem having a stub ,sectiomna blade having its heel engaglng said recess, asleeve fixedly attached. to

the hack of'sald blad'e and engaging said stem; and means for detachably securing said stem and sleeve t'ogether. 2. A razor comprlslng 'a shank 'provlded with a recessed heel, an angular stubistem, a detachable section having a threaded engagement wlthf -sald stub stem, and aheel having. a slotted recess, a blade hirvlng its end engaging the recess of said heel, a sleeve fixedly attached to the back of said bliade and engaging said stem, and means for LEONARD ETEUSER.
